Kindle advice

[BerthafromBolton]

I never thought I would be interested in a kindle - love sitting curled up with a proper book however I have booked a week coach trip on my own and I know that on part of the journey or in the hotel room a kindle would be better. Just wondered if any one could recommend - sorry a bit ignorant I don’t need Wi-Fi do I - just someone where to charge - does charging them up last long. I was a bit overwhelmed when I looked at all the different sorts. Thank You

When you don't need the internet turn it all off. It drains the battery. So pointless if you don't need it.

I am a bookworm. Love real books. But I really miss my kindle now when I am reading actual books as I can't get as comfortable in bed with a real book. Plus I need a light on!

I bought a paperwhite last year and if I turn off airplane mode when I'm not downloading the battery will last several weeks and I average a couple of books a week.

Also sign up to bookbub for a daily email of the special offers. I tend to buy when what I want is on offer.

I love mine! I also read proper books! I find I read different genres with a kindle because they're so easy to find.

It's easier and quicker to find books on amazon and send them to your kindle. Then make sure you open/download every book you want or think you may read when you're away. If you do that, you won't need any WiFi when you're out and about. The charge lasts weeks as well even with a lot of use.

Definitely get a newer paperwhite though, it has a bigger memory.

Thanks, @Alphabet1spaghetti2 .

I've only used Kindle unlimited so far. Its certainly got me reading different genres

I love my kindle. Use WiFi to download when I'm at home then the books are ready for when you're out and about.
You can't buy kindle books on the amazon app anymore which is annoying. Instead you need the proper www.amazon site.
I have a 2019 papwewhite. Battery is excellent and it's so light and portable.
